- What is the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists?
Across the beef community, producers take on countless daily responsibilities, from monitoring forage and water to adapting to weather, markets and herd needs. With so much happening on the ground, it’s easy to miss the broader global conservation efforts that impact rangeland management. That’s why 2026 represents an important moment. It has been designated as the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists (IYRP), a global effort to spotlight the value of rangelands and the people who care for them. While an international celebration, the message hits close to home for U.S. ranchers. The IYRP aims to elevate the contributions of ranchers and pastoralists worldwide, and American cattle producers, who manage some of the most diverse rangelands on earth, are a critical part of the story. What is the International Year of Rangelands & Pastoralists? - Drovers
This article introduces the IYRP and associated Global Alliance by describing their origins, goals and activities. Motivation for the IYRP emerged from the need to transform misguided myths portraying rangelands as having marginal value and pastoralism as backward and inefficient. The Alliance seeks to accomplish its goals through participation in global, regional and national events and by promoting strategic investment and policy. Policy recommendations will be presented to international and national governing bodies and at major global conferences in 2026 and beyond.
